Aria's POV...
I gasped at the doctor's announcement. "W.... what do you mean?" I stuttered. My eyes glanced back at Kyle. Beads of sweat had gathered on his forehead; he looked very pale. I sat next to him, wiping the sweat off. "why aren't you saying anything?" I yelled at the old man. The doctor cleared his throat, "Pardon me, Luna. What I am trying to say is; the knife used to attack him had poison laced with it." "Why did he not react since then?" I queried, wrapping my arms around Kyle. "It's a slow poison; it damages the insides of its victim until their wolf becomes too weak to fight." He replied. "That bastard, Wade!" I sobbed. "What can we do to save him now? Please save him." "Don't worry, Luna. I will get him treated. I will be right back. I need to call my assistants." He said, walking out of the room. Kyle groaned; he sounded like he was in utmost pain.Aria's POV...I think Barrin has every right to want to knock Kyle's teeth off even when he lay unconscious. This silly man was practically moaning my name even in his deepest sleep. The doctor had mentioned that he would hallucinate, but I didn't expect it to be this sexy. I shouldn't think like that. Still, the tingle his calling of my name sends to the spine is magical.Tightening my lips to hide my smile, I squeezed out the water in the towel to mop his pale face."Aria," He mumbled."Hmmn, I am here, Kyle," I replied in a raspy tone.Like a little child, he cuddled up against me. I really can't believe he is acting like this right now. Barrin must be having a fit at home; how do I explain to him that I have no hand in his new habit? Despite my distraught state of mind, Noel seemed super pleased.Taking a deep breath, I stretched myself on the bed and turned to him,
Kyle's POV...The juice had turned sour in my mouth; I don't know why Aria was annoyed at me for mumbling her name. Why should that be a problem? There seem to be many things I don't know regarding keeping a relationship. I would have expected her to feel loved or act mushy towards me. And as for Barrin, I am unsure if I owe him an apology yet. I can't even remember anything that happened last night.The door clicked, and I stared up in excitement; my face almost fell when Barrin walked in instead of Aria. I thought she had a rethink and realized her anger wasn't justified."Hey, babe," Barrin called out, sitting beside me. "How are you feeling? I'm sorry I wasn't by your side when you woke up."I observed him closely; there was no doubt that he wouldn't share what had ensued yesterday with me. Knowing how sensible and thoughtful Barrin is, he must have realized his action was childish. I hope Aria will be able to see that."Morning, Barrin. Thanks for loo
Author's POV...Barrin walked down the hallway in excitement; Kyle had gotten better and was back to his normal self. He had stayed up all night to take care of him, and it was worth it in the end. Opening the study door, he was surprised to find an empty space. It made him wonder where Kyle could be.Calling one of the guards to find out where the Alpha went, Barrin was a bit taken aback when he checked the garden as suggested and found Kyle and Aria making out. He backed up against the wall when the both of them looked towards the main building abruptly. Peeking his head out, Kyle placed a quick kiss on Aria's forehead as his friends approached before he walked away."Don't stress on it. It's just a mere kiss; Kyle is still yours." He tried to convince himself.Heading back to the study, he sat in the chair to keep himself from pacing around the room. He didn't want to take the situation to heart too much. The last time he had gotten himself worked up over Ky
Aria's POV...I never thought a day like this would come when Barrin and I would see eye to eye without having to growl at each other. I have been quite bothered about him lately, considering the new development between Kyle and I. Just like my friends have advised, I have also come to realize there are some situations in our lives that one can't control."This sandwich tastes really nice," I said in a muffled tone.Barrin laughed, "I knew you would like it. Kyle, Devon and I frequently visited this place when we were younger. Despite the tough rules used to confine us, we always snuck out in the end. We got away with it for a year, though we had become invincible. However, Cassandra caught us and didn't hesitate to report."I laughed heartily, "why did you need to sneak out? Weren't you old enough to go out on your own?""The three of us were to become future leaders in the Moonstone pack. It was just our parent's way of protecting us from harm."I n
Author's POV...Barrin got into his car, feeling his hands shake vigorously. They wouldn't even hold onto the steering wheel. Shutting his eyes tightly, he tried hard to push back the tears making their way to his eyes. He should have known this was going to happen In the first place, but he had been too hopeful and had consistently turned a blind eye to the situation of things.Turning on the car ignition, he drove out of the packhouse heading straight into the streets with only one destination in mind. It only took about two missed collisions and a small scratch on the side of his car to get him to where he was headed safely.Getting out of the car, Barrin took a deep breath before knocking on the door. A young lady with a bright smile opened the door; her wolf seemed to leap at seeing him. Being the Beta wolf, his wolf sometimes gets overtly excited and tries to intimidate other weak wolves. He let himself in, shutting his wolf's
Kyle's POV...I stretched my body out, slapping Aria's naked ass and filling up my face. Checking the time on the bedstand, I cursed lightly under my breath. I can't believe I overslept. Aria had been right about me sleeping overtime. I caressed her bare back, kissing her on the forehead. I have things to discuss with Barrin and the other pack council members this morning. This means there is a need for me to review the complaints before holding the meeting.Heading to the bathroom, I turned on the shower and shivered under the cold water. It felt harsh at first, but it only took a second for my body to adjust to it."Don't you think we are doing too much at this point?" Aria's voice mused behind me.I turned to look at her, and my eyes dilated; one would think I didn't just fuck her some hours before morning. "Damn! Why do you always have me turned on?" I asked, and my dick practically
Author's POV...Barrin didn't think expressing his feelings to Kyle would make him feel deflated. It had felt good at first; the both of them got to laugh and discuss later. The moment he stepped out of the packhouse, he sort of felt the emotions creep in more. He couldn't do much and had to halt his activities for the day.He isn't conflicted about putting a stop to his intimate moments with Kyle. He was only worried about how to move on; everyone appears to have someone solid by their side except him. Barrin didn't get the chance to make any friends aside from Kyle and Devon. He worries his social ability is too weak for him to interact with anyone outside the circle he knows. The mere thought of how bad the situation is puts him in a depressive state.Taking a deep breath, he stirred the drink he ordered with the straw. The ice was practically melting away; it's not like he really cared about what happened to it. A small smile spread on his lips as he remem
Kyle's POV...Since Barrin decided to end our love life, I find myself rummaging through the pile of old pictures I have of him. Staring clearly at them now, I noticed just how much he leaned on me. Now that he can handle himself without me in it, I guess it's safe to say that my Barrin has eventually matured. Blinking back the tears threatening to fall, I sat down on the chair, taking a deep breath.Even though we clearly talked about it like mature people would, I still worried about him, hoping he would be fine for real. Like Devon said, Barrin didn't attempt to make a life apart from the one he had with me. If I was asked a year ago, I would have said there was no need or room for any other person in our lives. But with her arrival, I doubt if I could ever make such a statement again.Not only did Aria breach my defence walls, but she also made me realize the power of yearning. Her beautiful face is all I want to wake up to. A small smile played on my lips as I
